SECG
The Standards for Efficient Cryptography Group, which developed SECG elliptic curve standards including secp256k1. Its documents include seed values to support a verifiable random generation process.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The verifiable random generation process requires first selecting a public seed string, then repeatedly applying hash functions such as SHA-1 to map the output to curve parameters, so that anyone can rerun the verification with the same seed and algorithm.
The SECG and NIST curve documents usually include seed values, so that external auditors can verify that the parameters come from a verifiable random generation process.
